    • From #38 where you wrote the following, all in the 3rd person so we don't know which party is you. When you sy it was your family home, was that before or after? " A FH split to create 2 Leasehold adjoining houses (terrace) FH remains under original ownership and 1 Leasehold house sold on 100y+ lease. . Freeholder resides in the other Leasehold house. The property was originally resided in as one house by Freeholder"
    • The property was our family home.  A fixed low rate btl/ development loan was given (last century!). It was derelict. Did it up/ was rented out for a while.  Then moved in/out over the years (mostly around school)  It was a mix of rental and family home. The ad-hoc rents covered the loan amply.  Nowadays  banks don't allow such a mix.  (I have written this before.) Problems started when the lease was extended and needed to re-mortgage to cover the expense.  Wanted another btl.  Got a tenant in situ. Was located elsewhere (work). A broker found a btl lender, they reneged.  Broker didn't find another btl loan.  The tenant was paying enough to cover the proposed annual btl mortgage in 4 months. The broker gave up trying to find another.  I ended up on a bridge and this disastrous path.  (I have raised previous issues about the broker) Not sure what you mean by 'split'.  The property was always leasehold with a separate freeholder  The freeholder eventually sold the fh to another entity by private agreement (the trust) but it's always been separate.  That's quite normal.  One can't merge titles - unless lease runs out/ is forfeited and new one is not created/ granted. The bridge lender had a special condition in loan offer - their own lawyer had to check title first.  Check that lease wasn't onerous and there was nothing that would affect good saleability.  The lawyer (that got sacked for dishonesty) signed off the loan on the basis the lease and title was good and clean.  The same law firm then tried to complain the lease clauses were onerous and the lease too short, even though the loan was to cover a 90y lease extension!! 
    • Northmonk forget what I said about your Notice to Hirer being the best I have seen . Though it  still may be  it is not good enough to comply with PoFA. Before looking at the NTH, we can look at the original Notice to Keeper. That is not compliant. First the period of parking as sated on their PCN is not actually the period of parking but a misstatement  since it is only the arrival and departure times of your vehicle. The parking period  is exactly that -ie the time youwere actually parked in a parking spot.  If you have to drive around to find a place to park the act of driving means that you couldn't have been parked at the same time. Likewise when you left the parking place and drove to the exit that could not be describes as parking either. So the first fail is  failing to specify the parking period. Section9 [2][a] In S9[2][f] the Act states  (ii)the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver, the creditor will (if all the applicable conditions under this Schedule are met) have the right to recover from the keeper so much of that amount as remains unpaid; Your PCN fails to mention the words in parentheses despite Section 9 [2]starting by saying "The notice must—..." As the Notice to Keeper fails to comply with the Act,  it follows that the Notice to Hirer cannot be pursued as they couldn't get the NTH compliant. Even if the the NTH was adjudged  as not  being affected by the non compliance of the NTK, the Notice to Hirer is itself not compliant with the Act. Once again the PCN fails to get the parking period correct. That alone is enough to have the claim dismissed as the PCN fails to comply with PoFA. Second S14 [5] states " (5)The notice to Hirer must— (a)inform the hirer that by virtue of this paragraph any unpaid parking charges (being parking charges specified in the notice to keeper) may be recovered from the hirer; ON their NTH , NPE claim "The driver of the above vehicle is liable ........" when the driver is not liable at all, only the hirer is liable. The driver and the hirer may be different people, but with a NTH, only the hirer is liable so to demand the driver pay the charge  fails to comply with PoFA and so the NPE claim must fail. I seem to remember that you have confirmed you received a copy of the original PCN sent to  the Hire company plus copies of the contract you have with the Hire company and the agreement that you are responsible for breaches of the Law etc. If not then you can add those fails too.

    • Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

car cash point LBL - Burlington/Marstons wants car Urgent help _ Live in NI - Page 3 - Log Book Loans / Bills of Sale - Consumer Action Group

 

Hi Melissa,

I'm pretty much the same boat as you,

 

they refuse to accept any form of repayment plan to get the account on track, now refusing to acknowledge emails.

 

My bill of sale states the Apr rate rather than the annual interest rate, also incorrect details on the schedule of goods.

 

A fella from chartsbridge called at the house with some random punk in a flat bed truck...

Told them the bill of sale wasn't valid and that they wouldn't be taking the car,

 

to be fair to the agent, he was polite enough and said "fair enough, there's not much we can do then" and away they went...

so double check to make sure all details of bill of sale are correct.

Hi all, I am yet another victim of these vultures.

To cut a long story short I fell foul of repayments and the account subsequently defaulted... It was a mixture of severe stress, mental health issues relating to the pandemic and relationship difficulties. 

 

I didn't receive the default notice which was issued in September as it had been sent to a previous address,

 

I contacted them apologising and have made several offers to try and rehabilitate the account and get back on track, to no avail, they refuse to accept any form of payment plan but are demanding an extortionate settlement balance which includes over £400 in repossession charges. 

 

Here is where it gets interesting,

I hiked out the paper work and started digging in to the legislation surrounding the bill of sale etc.

A big error they have made is that instead of the annual interest rate which is to be included, they have quoted the Apr rate as the interest rate.

 

I approached ccp about the validity of the bill of sale, pointed out the errors contained within, sent them a screenshot of the legislation and requested that they provided any evidence they had to the contrary and their immediate reply was "we do not acknowledge your complaint, the bill of sale is valid, this is our final response to the matter".. 

 

Fast forward several days,

Wednesday this week, An agent from chartsbridge calls to the house with another fella in a flatbed truck wanting to seize the car, I told him he wasn't getting it as the bill of sale was in dispute and it was not valid... He didn't put up any fight or argument whatsoever, and left... Havent heard anything from them since. 

 

I sent an email to ccp about their blatant disregard for the fca and ccta guidelines regarding repossession and their unfair treatment in their refusal to even acknowledge my proposal. Also pointed out that their website states that they recognise the difficulties people are facing during the pandemic and will ensure to treat customers fairly and sympathetically... Never got a reply. 

 

Seems all communication from either of them has stopped..... 

 

Another thing to add....

Had they properly looked into my finances they'd have seen I was heavily in debt, 2 defaults from previous hp agreements where I voluntarily surrendered the respective car, not to mention the fact that they took photos of a bank statement from a separate bank account that consisted mainly of gambling transactions.

 

There is also no record of them carrying out an affordability search on my credit file nor has the default or anything at all from them been registered on it.

 

I know I shouldn't have taken the loan out in hindsight, but at the time I was desperate.

You have several grounds for complaints 

But getting a bos struck out once registered with the high court 

is of the upmost difficulty 

You would need either a very experienced pro bono or very deep pockets 

If you lost you are liable for the lenders costs

Sorry for the delay, will get my bos uploaded as well as the credit agreement in the morning.

 

I received an email from advice ni regarding the account and the bos and they said if there were errors on the bos there would be grounds for complaint and also that if I advised ccp and chartsbridge that I was in discussions with them they would have to place a hold on any activity for 30 days.

 

I emailed ccp this morning and cc'd chartsbridge into it, stating that I was in discussions with a debt advice company regarding the account and as such requested that they put the account on hold for 30 days as per fca and ccta rules. Never received anything back.

My understanding is that bills of sale aren't regulated hence they say they can repossess, but does the fact that its tied in with a regulated agreement not make a difference? 

A dca/guy with a flat bed has absolutely zero legal powers. No dca with whatever paperwork even from a court does not make them or give them any magical bailiff powers even on a temporary basis.

 

As for the no taking cars till the 31st, i doubt very much the FCA  even considered toy town dca actors in that advice. But never the less i'd like to thing it applies.

 

as for the agreement s it must be an hp agreement not a pers loan as this one..that gives 1/3 paid protection cover

they just rely on you caving in and letting them take the car? 

you mean getting had blind...thats all DCA's ever do on anything ...they are totally powerless on any type of debt ...end of.

 

they can goto court and get a ccj on a debt, but that does not make them bailiffs and that getting of a CCJ is use of no special magical powers..you or i can goto court and raise a claim if we believe someone owes us money..they are no different to us the std joe public.

 

with regard to repo/lifting cars, it doesn't have to be a DCA.. there is only one condition that protects you - that being the car is under an HP Agreement and you have paid more than 1/3rd so thus is deemed protected good, - they CAN take it from the public highway as long as they have a copy of the Default Notice and (where necessary) the Bill of sale.

  • 2 weeks later...

Thought I'd give this a bit of a bump, car cash point now refusing to reply to emails, complaints or return calls. Also refusing to supply me with a copy of the default notice, the sar and refusing to acknowledge the fact that they are duty bound to place an account on hold for 30 days when I am in discussion with a debt help organisation. 

 

Bit the bullet and rang chartsbridge. They've placed the account on hold whilst I speak with the debt advisor etc...bur here is where it gets interesting... 

 

They contacted ccp who were quick enough to reply to them, despite ignoring me completely. Ccp stated to them that they weren't willing to negotiate a settlement as the account had been in default since last February... The default notice wasn't issued until late August!!! 

 

Chartsbridge now refusing to answer requests for details of the default notice they were supplied with.... Something stinks!!

Yea I understand what you mean, but the difficulties with paying etc didn't arise until July, everything was grand up until then. Its just strange that with chartsbridge usually being quite prompt in replying, they've done the same and blanked me when I highlighted the issues with the default notice, and ccp giving them wrong information.... 

 

Will submit a sar for sure...

They can't refuse your SAR request 

In order to repossess their car

if they have a signed, stamped and registered bos plus a valid expired dn that is all they need 

You really need to negotiate a settlement or consider a time order , yes If the negotiating is via a professional debt advisor they must allow 30 days for the negotiation

Have tried to reach a settlement but they are ignoring all communication, refusing to reply or even acknowledge complaints /offers. To be fair to the dca, they've been more than helpful and have placed a hold on the account their end and are trying to get info regarding the default notice, but they haven't received anything back either. 

 

Ccp have said to the dca that the default notice was issued in January last year when in fact it was August this year, and there were definitely no default notices issued before that. Made an sar with the dca also which they are more than happy to provide, given my concerns about the info that has been provided to them. The dca did however state that they don't have a default notice on file and an sar wouldn't provide the info I'm looking for but are happy to provide it anyway. 

 

The only conclusion I can reach is that ccp are refusing all contact to enable the car to be repossessed.... Which for now, won't be happening due to an arrangement with the dca
